About this restaurant

Innovative
Romantic
Good for special occasions

Cardiff's brand new Australian restaurant invites you to explore the exotic tastes of The Outback. Our menu looks to fuse the colours, flavours and textures of native Australian dishes with the sun-soaked freshness of contemporary Australian cuisine and the finesse of fine dining.

With a selection of sharing platters as well as our regular à la carte menu to choose from, you are invited to try out the exotic and unusual with prime cuts of ostrich, kangaroo, crocodile and world-renowned Wagyu beef served straight from the grill as either steaks, burgers or skewers. If you'd rather not venture too far into the unknown, we also have a beautiful selection of more classical cuts of meat such as wild boar, venison, steak, beef and chicken to choose from with accompanying sides and homemade sauces.The menu also offers a range of fresh seafood including native Australian barramundi fillet, swordfish steak and, of course, shrimps straight from the barbie!

My partner and I went to the Outback this evening (15th March 2017) to celebrate our 20 year anniversary and we were not disappointed. Our waitress who I believe was the owners wife was amazing. Very attentive and professional. Food was outstanding and we didn't have to wait too long to receive anything. I seriously recommend the Outback Restaurant in Cardiff to everyone. My meal consisted of King Prawns for starters followed by New York Strip Steak, Chips and Mushrooms which was amazing and cooked to perfection. My partners meal was Aussie Chicken Wings for starters followed by Chicken Skewers, Kangaroo and Ostrich Steaks. All held together with an assortment of sauces and dips. We both had an amazing evening and thoroughly enjoyed the Meringue Desert with Pomegranate Seeds, Cream and Fresh Berries. A very nice surprise. Thank you to both of you for a very enjoyable evening. We will be back again very soon. That's a promise! A*********
